I have a list of email addresses that I am using to build a URL that is executed by the HTTP connector. The service I am using (Qwerly) does not allow more than 2 calls per second so I implemented a speed limiter in front of the HTTP connector with a delay of 1500. I see the speed limiter delaying the records; however the HTTP connector waits for all records which violates the queries per second constraint and causes a failure. How can a make sure the HTTP connector executes on only record at a time with a delay of 1-2 seconds per record?

Hello Ryan,  
set the edge after the SpeedLimeter as _Direct fast propagate_ (edgeType=“directFastPropagate”). Then each record is send immediately to the next component. Default (direct) edge sends the records after its buffer is full (see [Types of Edges](http://www.cloveretl.com/documentation/UserGuide/topic/com.cloveretl.gui.docs/docs/types-of-edges.html) for more information).
